Luzhou, Qingfeng Gang.

Li Hansheng looked at the countryside below the mountain with a slightly sad face.

The spring breeze awakens all things, and the birds and beasts that have been dormant for a winter are re-active in the countryside, and tens of thousands of soldiers appear together, without seeing the head and tail, constantly gathering and growing, and marching towards the far west.

Sword Saint Zhu Liu stood beside him and said softly: "Song Zhengping, the king of Chu, has just announced to the world that he supports King Wu's impeachment of the emperor, which can be regarded as officially falling to the three kings of the east. The four kings had secretly reached an agreement to discuss who would inherit the throne after the emperor was deposed. Now it seems that the situation is not good. ”

Li Hansheng and Zhu Liu, and even all the people in the Eagle Tower, all of them were subject to blood feuds without exception. Jianghu people pay attention to blood debts and blood repayment, Li Hansheng has been dormant in secret for so many years, in order to definitely not only change the emperor, it is the Song family that he wants to destroy!

took refuge in King Wu because King Wu lost his beloved son and already had a disobedience to the court. Li Hansheng supported King Wu to rise to power, because he wanted to pull the three eastern kings into the water, so that a civil war broke out between the imperial court and the three eastern kings; At the same time, he secretly used the internal response cultivated by Ningwu Pass, and the inside and outside should be combined to let the Northern Qi army enter the customs.

This matter has been planned since a very early age, and last year I asked Chang Shijian to ask Prince Zuo of Northern Qi for a jade pendant, and Prince Zuo Jiang Yu would agree, just because Li Hansheng had already been tied to Northern Qi.

As long as the goal is achieved, according to Li Hansheng's calculations, the Dayue Imperial Court will definitely be under great pressure in the face of the Northern Qi and the three eastern kings who have been recuperating for 60 years, and will attract the two kings of Chu and Su to contend with each other, and the whole world will become a three-point trend.

The court of Dayue has the two kings of Chu and Su as its support, and its troops are strong, and it will not fall into decline in the face of the three kings of Northern Qi and the east at the same time; The three parties fell into a tug-of-war until Da Yue's national strength was almost consumed, and Li Hansheng took the rebel army that was pulled up, and joined forces with Northern Qi Li to give Da Yue a backstab, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the Song clan.

But the current situation obviously did not follow the route planned by Li Hansheng.

Li Hansheng thought that the imperial court would win over the king of Chu, but the king of Chu turned around and formed an alliance with the king of Wu because of the emperor's tough attitude.

The army summoned by the three kings of Wu, Wei, and Yu, plus the Zhuangding militia raised at zero hour, is enough to have 700,000 people, and if you add the 300,000 soldiers of the king of Chu, the strength will directly exceed one million.

And on the side of the imperial court, the king of Shu has just suffered a catastrophe and can be regarded as non-existent, and the soldiers and horses that can be used under his hands are the three armies of the Xiliang Army, the Guanzhong Army, and the Liaoxi Army, and the Guanzhong Army and the Liaoxi Army want to block the Northern Qi from going south, even if the imperial court allows the vassal king to usurp the throne successfully, it is impossible to withdraw the two armies back, and the army that can be used to block the alliance of the four kings is only the Xiliang Army.

If the whole army of the Western Liang Army attacked, it would naturally be able to block the alliance of the four kings, but if the Western Liang Army left, the entire northwest would be lost, and the imperial court finally only transferred 50,000 Western Liang troops over.

50,000 Xiliang troops, plus the government soldiers and militia in Guanzhong, to block the Four Kings Alliance with more than one million soldiers, no matter what Li Hansheng thinks, it is impossible for the imperial court to stop it.

If the imperial court can't stop it, and the four kings succeed in Chang'an, then the next step must be Song Ji Zen throne, the new monarch ascending the throne, and the integration of soldiers and horses to counterattack the Northern Qi.

After the world was calmed down, Li Hansheng didn't talk about revenge and blood hatred, it is estimated that he would have to mix up the dragon's skills and complete the dream of 'learning literature and martial arts and repaying the emperor's family'. If this is known by his own daughter and deceased wife, won't he really become a ruthless and unrighteous beast who abandons his wife and daughter?

Sword Saint Zhu Liu, who was burdened with a blood feud against the sect, was definitely unwilling to help the vassal king seek hegemony, and in the face of the situation in front of him, he opened his mouth and asked:

"What to do next? Could it be that he dragged the rebel army to let the imperial court recruit and help block the four vassal kings? ”

This is naturally a joke, the rebel army is in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are only more than 200,000 stragglers in total, so they can't turn against each other now and chase the Four Kings Alliance.

Li Hansheng was silent, shook his head and said: "The general trend is like this, it depends on whether Xu Buling can block the four kings from entering the customs, as long as Xu Buling can block it for a year and a half, let Northern Qi gain a firm foothold north of the Yellow River, and some will fight,"

Zhu Liuzhi rubbed the hilt of the sword, and raised his eyes to look at the northwest: "Just 50,000 Xiliang troops, plus a bunch of unusable government soldiers, blocking the four kings and millions of people, I, the old man, can't help, alas...... Those of us who are in the rivers and lakes really can't play the general trend of the world. ”

Li Hansheng knew that Zhu Liu, the East China Sea Lu family and other forces in the rivers and lakes were a little disappointed, but it was not easy to disturb the situation in the world. He turned and walked down the hill and said calmly:

"In the troubled times, the situation is changing rapidly, we wait for the opportunity to plan and then move, and there is always a time to turn the tables."

Zhu Liu is just a swordsman, and he doesn't know much about the general trend of the world, so he can only nod his head about it, think about it and say:

"Xu Buling can single-handedly be able to use one as a thousand, and in exchange for leading troops to fight, maybe he can also be a hundred. 50,000 Xiliang troops, with one hundred is five million, directly pushed from Guanzhong Daoping to Jiangnan, and then destroyed the Song family with a backhand, is this matter finished? ”

"If that kid can be pushed to Jiangnan with 50,000 people, I will call him my father-in-law in the future."

"The people of the rivers and lakes have said it, and the horses are difficult to chase, so it's decided."

“？”

Three thousand miles away.

50,000 Xiliang troops were drawn and gathered from all over the country, and the speed of the army was not fast, and it was just out of the jurisdiction of Yongzhou at this time. Xiao Qi took his family and left first, and had already rushed to the dock on the bank of the Wei River.

Wangfulou ships docked here, and construction was carried out near the wharf, where thousands of people worked. The wartime state has been working day and night, coupled with the strong financial resources accumulated by the Suwang Mansion for many years, but in more than ten days, the ordnance workshop covering an area of 100 acres has gradually taken shape. The veteran blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, etc., who were hired heavily from the twelve prefectures of Xiliang, had already received training from Tian Qisheng in the house built at zero hour next to him.

Xiao Qi was idle, and when he arrived at the wharf, he went to the ordnance workshop to start inspecting the work; Zhu Manzhi and Song Yufu were suffocated in the carriage, and they both stayed on the ship for half a year, and they were not interested in returning to the ship directly, so they went to the town near the dock together; Lu Hongluan was a little bored, and he also went shopping together.

Xiao Xiang'er didn't have such a good treatment, she shared the identity of the princess with her sister, and she naturally couldn't show up when her sister went out, so she could only honestly return to the ship and wait for Xiao Qi to set sail after the inspection.

In the building boat, the maids packed up and prepared inside and out.

On the terrace at the back of the shipbuilding, Xiao Xiang'er leaned a little lazily, playing with the small mahogany card in her hand, basking in the spring sun.

Blinking and Xu Buling have been separated for more than ten days, Xiao Xiang'er misses the days when her good brother was by her side, and she wanted to squint and sleep for a while but couldn't sleep, so she asked:

"Qiao'e, how long will it take for Xu Buling to come back?"

Qiao'e sat next to her, envious of the moon slave who could go out for a walk, and sighed when she heard this:

"The boat went fast, first to the vicinity of Chang'an and waited. The little prince has just left Yongzhou, and there are still more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an, and tens of thousands of people are walking slowly, not to mention half a month. ”

Xiao Xiang'er was a little desperate, leaned on the couch listlessly, and began to think about what kind of surprise she should give Xu Buling when the time came......

Why don't you write 'I'm your aunt' under Hongluan's belly?

While pondering, there was a sound of footsteps in the room behind me, as if a woman came in with something in her arms and put it down, and then walked out again.

Thinking that it was the maid who was moving things, Xiao Xiang'er and Qiao'e didn't care, but after a while, two goose cries suddenly came from behind.

Qiao'e was puzzled when she heard the sound, and looked back, but saw that the big white goose had been tied with its wings and claws, lying upright on the floor of the outhouse.

"Hey—which maid is this, and how did you get the poultry here?"

Qiao'e was a little annoyed in her eyes, and she wanted to get up to train the maid who didn't know the rules, when she suddenly saw a woman leading two puppies into the house at the door of the room.

The woman is wearing a gray and blue skirt, with a headscarf on her head, her eyes are full of aura, her red lips are like cherry blossoms, and her eyebrows are like willow leaves, with a bit of the charm of a little woman from a good family.

Qiao'e used to be a palace maid, and she was startled when she saw the appearance of the person who came, so she instinctively stood up, folded her hands on her waist and saluted, but immediately felt that something was wrong, and she was stunned with her small mouth open.

In the room, Cui Xiaowan loosened the dog leash, closed the door, and raised her hand to untie the headscarf on her head. found that Qiao'e looked over, Cui Xiaowan didn't look out of the slightest, and naturally bowed slightly:

"Qiao'e is not polite. Mother, I've been here for a while, do you like to sleep inside or outside? ”
